What’s the right style of home for you?
Options may include the following: two-storey to duplex to split-level to bungalow.
These are personal preferences, of course. Seniors tend to want bungalows with fewer stairs. Families sometimes find a two-storey best: bedrooms up, everything else down.
Beyond that, there’s no criteria.

While proximity to amenities, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen functionality are all factors in whether a house has good resale value, style of house usually is not.
The Canadian Real Estate Association determined that style of home is most important for mobility in the eyes of a potential buyer (such as seniors who want a bungalow), when it comes to resale:
“There’s a buyer for everything as long as you’ve got a trusted adviser helping you with understanding what the numbers look like for that type of property in that area.”
